He’s a dummy.

What a negative thread, here.

Magic Tricks

We have had typing indicators for 25 years now.

Good news for those who are into the current generation of GB.

That’s how projects go. But I bet it happens faster when enthusiasm for a game has the curve this title did.

That’s, like, a normal logical one. It’s actually food, it’s spicy. It makes sense to compete to see who can handle the spicy food. This is independently invented every day.

Stealing faucets from public bathrooms? That’s not a normal logical one. That’s a devious lick, and something invented to be highly memetic and propelled by a highly optimized algorithm that incentivizes recency, novelty, and dopamine hacking. It even effectively had a brand name!

Yeah, no worry about the lithium fires. Fuck those chromebooks.

You didn’t have the same social and monetary incentives TikTok provides.

I don’t remember Friendster causing mayhem like this.

Lemmy seems to not be spreading challenges either.

You have a point, but TikTok has a unique power in this moment.

And if the students did see it on TikTok, then it’s factual, specific, reporting.

TikTok is at the forefront of designing algorithms that optimize for this sort of situation. Reddit isn’t. YouTube does not appear to be. They have their own issues, but it’s not exactly this sort of optimization.

VRChat is another social network not optimized around incentivizing this mimicking and reposting behavior.

Snapchat is not built around this sort of algorithm either.

Oh? That’s great to hear. That means I’m out of date on that. I have a friend who experienced this once.

Sadly, it’s not uncommon from what I understand.

It can’t dump a save state to disk? I guess that would be difficult on a normal OS.

Ever heard about software devs not being able to work on personal projects because all the code they produce, even off the clock is owned by their employer?

Fuzz buster buster buster.

The town square shouldn’t have regional muzzles as a feature.

The line? Usually you need to be doing something conceptually different. This knockoff electrabuzz wouldn’t have raised as many eyebrows if it was in a farming simulator, or a card game.

It’s like if you had a chainsaw gun in your game, and your game was a third person shooter set in a dark gritty sci-fi world where you are fighting subterranean monsters called the Focus Board.

Bingo. In many ways, but not all, palworld was lazy, and unoriginal.
